Famed American economist Jeffrey Sachs talks about global poverty and developement and related issues including the UN's recent release of strategies to promote developement in poor countries by a panel headed by Sachs himself. Sachs also released a book called "The end of poverty" full of ambitious ideas with the ultimate goal of eradicating poverty by 2025.
Some consider Sachs' ideas to be too broad and unclear to be effective. Sachs answers back in the talk which he does with Mother Jones magazine.
